Dean,
SQL Server's Timestamp is a SQL Server specific data type that is simply an
8-byte structure that is guaranteed to be unique. My understanding is that
SQL Server's Timestamp is simply a sequential number, however that is an
implementation detail that is subject to change, in other words I do not
rely on the fact it may be a sequential number...
The chart at

shows you the SQL Server data type along with the SQL Client equivalent
lent.
Hope this helps

Since SQL Server has a native timestamp datatype, I was expecting .NET to
have a .ToTimestamp function, but evidently not.
Which leads to my question: is a a universally accepted format for a
timestamp? And how would you create it in .NET?
Thanks,
